Giorno Giovanna is a fictional character from the Japanese manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Giorno is the main hero of part 5. He is the son of the main villain of the series, Dio Brando.
Story
Born Haruno Shiobana, Giorno is the son of Dio (fathered using Jonathan Joestar´s body, which would make him genetically related to the Joestar family) and a Japanese woman. As a young child his mother remarried, to an Italian man, and they moved to Italy; hence Haruno Shiobana became Giorno Giovanna. He had trouble getting along with his stepfather and eventually abandon his home.
Giorno's great ambition in life is to become a mafia boss (a "Gang Star"), and as such he eventually joins the mob squad Passione. Though he is its youngest and newest member, he quickly proves his mettle and eventually becomes the de facto leader of the group.
Unlike typical mafia bosses, he wanted to give divested riches to the poor, giving him an agenda similar to Robin Hood. He eventually influences all of Passione, all but their boss, who later became their worst enemy.
Stone Ocean
While he never physically shows up, we do learned that Giorno wasn't the only son Dio had, he however is not aware of his multiple half-brothers. While Pucci attracted three young men who were all sons of Dio, Giorno was nowhere to be seen even if he had Dio blood in him. It could be do to his personality or the fact he never became aware of his origins, or combination of both.
Personality
Giorno used to be an unhappy and lonely child until until he befriended a gangster. Since then, he's become a more confident person. His clever mind helps him and the gang get out of tough situations, which also helps him win the support of the most stubborn members. While he may seem to be a troublemaker at times, he has a good heart and wants to help out anybody who has shown him kindness. And of course, he has no trouble punishing those that needlessly and intentionally hurt other people.
Stands
Trivia
- Giorno's name written in katakana is not ゴルノ・ゴバアーナ (Goruno Gobana) or ギョルノ・ギョバアーナ (Gyoruno Gyobana), but as ジョルノ・ジョバアーナ (Joruno Jobana). This is to reflect the pronunciation of GioGio in Italian, as it is done using a "j" sound (as in jo or ji), not a "g" sound (as in gi or go) as spelled. Giorno's ジョ (jo) in his name would look like being separated into ジ ョ (jiyo) when pronounced in English.
- Giorno's hair used to be black and worn in a bowl cut style. However, when his stand powers awakened, his hair became gold and spiked with spiral-like bangs.
- Since Giorno is Dio's son, his battle cry is also "Muda Muda Muda Muda...Muda!". Giorno also pulls off a "WRYYYYYY!" during his fight with Cioccolatta.
- Giovanna is a typical Italian female name.
- Giorno has the odd ability to stuff his entire ear into his ear canal.
- His favorite musician is Jeff Beck and his favorite musical is Les Misérables. Favorite foods include chocolate, pudding and octopus salad; dislikes chicken and especially duck.
